[Powhatan nods gravely. He and Pocahontas exeunt
left. The braves follow next. The Indian
maidens, women, and children form the end of the procession.
The stage is thus left empty, and the scene ends.

COSTUMES

POCAHONTAS. Pocahontas should wear the traditional
costume of “white doeskin with a scarlet mantle
flecked with gold sequins.” A great chain
of pearls should be about her neck. Another chain
which reaches to her waist should be of white and
blue beads—­large beads that will catch
glitter from the sun. About her head a band of
tan, and a white quill. The embroidery about
the neck of her Indian robe is of pearls. The
basket which she carries should be white, with a motif
of rich blue and scarlet. She wears a tan (dressed
deerskin) girdle, heavily embroidered in red beads.
Her stockings and moccasins are tan-colored also, the
moccasins embroidered in scarlet. The ends of
her braids are bound in scarlet and gold. White
canton flannel, skilfully slashed for fringing, will
make the Indian dress, which should fall in straight
lines from a square neck. It should reach to
about three inches above the ankle, and should be
heavily fringed. The robe, worn fastened at the
shoulders, should be of scarlet cloth. The deerskin
belt is of cotton khaki. The moccasins can be
made of the same material, cut sandal fashion.
Or low canvas ties without heels, bead-embroidered.

CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH. Tan-colored costume of the
seventeenth century. The coat of tattered, weather-stained
brown velvet, the puffed sleeves slashed with tan
satin that is soiled and frayed. Great tan boots
coming to the knee. A white lace collar at neck,
much the worse for wear. A brown leather girdle.

POWHATAN. Indian dress of tan (dressed deerskin),
the neck and breast of it gorgeously painted with
blue, green, and scarlet. Great chains of shells
and beads. A huge head-dress of black feathers
that hangs down his back almost to his knees.
It should be the largest and most magnificent of all
the Indian head-dresses, as it is the insignia of
chiefdom. Tan stockings and tan moccasins.
The material of his costume may be cotton khaki. (The
imitation khaki is best, as the real material is too
heavy.)

THE MEDICINE-MAN. The medicine-man is old.
He wears a wig of long, white, coarse hair. His
costume is of cotton khaki, decorated with beads,
bits of looking-glass, and feathers. He wears
no feathers on his head. A piece of fur is fastened
to his shoulders. His blanket is black, with
white cabalistic signs. It can be made of canton
flannel.
